Didn't these people condemn Islam for that 20 years ago.
Also I thought protestants thought salvation was free
Baptists are Catholics with all of the creative finery stripped away.
Hey, Catholics have a lot wrong, but they're wildly different from Baptists, especially when it comes to theological rigor.
Evangelicals as a whole are a demonstration of what a religion looks like when it has none of the things that encourage resisting demogaugery
Fundies' theology is tent-show fanfic.
And I thought Protestants didn't approve of pedophilia either.
You'll go to premium heaven. Or Heaven+, how it's now rebranded
When they start working with Al-Qaeda's and ISIS closely, they realize that it is easier to brainwash the soldiers to die for their religion. It is very clear people don't have attachments to their own country because they are struggling, replace that with religion and they will blow themselves up.
I assume based on the research the CIA and their experience, they are trying to do that within the US.
Of course they condemned Islam for that. It's Islam.
For Christianity, it's different for the evangelicals.
You shall be rewarded in heeeaaaven!
